what's the best job to have while attending college..other than waitress???

Answer 1

One in your field. Even if it doesn't pay as well as a waitress getting a job that will be experience in your field is worth it. I worked in CPA firms while I got my degree and passed the test so could be licensed immediately.
Other than that nothing beats waitress work with it's great pay and flexible hours.

Answer 2

while attending college you have an excellent resource for jobhunting at the college's job placement office - they actively solicit and post open positions that are seeking college students, in addition to resume and interviewing workshops. In addition, you might want to consider working for the college - colleges maintain a large staff, and are usually seeking candidates for a wide variety of jobs, such as clerical, administrative, even janitorial. Go to the HR department or the college website and see what is currently available. Good luck!
